Sometimes I miss...

Sometimes I miss you holding my hand… Sometimes I miss you giving me a kiss out of nowhere for no reason but just because you love me and you wanted to...  Sometimes I miss us going out to dinner and having long conversations over a glass of wine, with no stresses of life…  Sometimes I miss going on trips, and taking adventures together…

But then I look at these two, and realize where we are in our life is right where we are supposed to be…  Even if it does mean giving up some of the things I miss.  At the end, I still have you and you still have me, we are just playing different roles in our lives.

And I know one day, I will miss having these two little ones running through the house tearing everything apart, screaming mama & daddy, and driving us crazy at times!

Goodnight sweet angels!

Glad's it's Friday...

Glad's it's Friday, and you!?!

I’m here, I'm alive…  I have shingles, and to say the least it is pretty painful.  Every time I turn around it is something.  I could really use a break, NOW!  The best part about it all, I was always told that I had never had the chicken pox, so the doctor and I both were scratching our heads as to how I could have shingles.  Well come to find out, my mother now says I did have a really mild case of the chicken pox. 

 And no one wants to be around me, pretty sad…  I’m not contagious, unless you haven’t had the chicken pox.

We did get our Christmas tree up, and the kiddos have had a great time pulling it apart.  But at least it is up, now if we could just get the Christmas lights up outside, we would be doing good.  I have to say, I love having the Christmas tree up, I find it very relaxing.  Before we had kids, I would fall asleep in the living room almost every night.

***The little man doing his thing***

***Singing Jingle Bells***

***The finished product, but we still need a tree topper***

Not much to say, I’m tired, I itch, and I’m in a lot of pain.  Just hoping this will end soon vs. later.  The kiddos are looking forward to seeing their BeeBee & Dar tomorrow, and so am I!  All night, all I have heard is BeeBee Dar, Dar BeeBee, BeeBee  & Dar…  Tomorrow my little ones, tomorrow.

Happy Friday!  Glad to have some quiet time, glad to have two days off, and glad to be off my feet!  Hope whatever your plans are that you have a safe weekend!   

 

Goodnight sweet angels!

A night away...

Howdy, how ya been!?!  Me, I'm here!  A little tired from the VERY packed holiday weekend, but I’m alive and did make it.  I was probably a little grumpy come Sunday, but you know what it's okay.  I had been going pretty much non-stop the entire month of November, who wouldn’t be a little grumpy!?!

The husband and I had our first night away from the kiddos this past weekend.  I have to say it was nice, it was nice getting to have one on one time (that we don't hardly ever get), it was nice not having to be in constant parent mode, and it was nice getting to be with our friends to celebrate the wedding of two of our closest friends.

***The husband doesn't like this picture, but it's the only one I have of us...  He looked so handsome in his tux!

It was a beautiful wedding, the bride was gorgeous and the groom was handsome.  We have known these two for at least seven - eight years, and we consider them family.  I’m so happy for them, and I wish them a lifetime of happiness.

***The bride & groom***

As I did enjoy the night away, I was very excited to see my babies the next day.  Don’t tell anyone, but I think they missed me a little and were happy to see me too!  It’s just a feeling I got…

I did tell the husband that we need to do this again (soon).  It has been WAY too long, since we have gone out and acted immature, and sometimes I think you need to act immature, don’t you!?!  We celebrated, danced, talked, laughed, toasted each other, and didn’t worry about the problems of life!

Cheers to the happy couple!  And it's almost bedtime, I'm ready for bed, I need to sleep for like 72 hours...

Goodnight sweet angels!
